It's apparently official: Disney just announced that not only is Joss Whedon returning to The Avengers for a second movie — he's also developing a Marvel TV show that is set to air on ABC. (Probably in the fall of 2013, at the soonest.)

So we're guessing that this TV show is the same one that was mentioned last week — a show that would be set in the same universe as Avengers, but won't feature any of the actual members of the team. Presumably, this is a world of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, super-scientists, super-spies and other people with "super" in their job description. More details as soon as we find out any.
